All Curves Are Being Reduced to Not More Than Three Degrees, and Immense Fill I Being Made on 5000-Foot
' Trestle Near Cooks. .;
- &cj tfj5& tf?cf
THOUSANDS of dollars are being ex
pended by the North Bank Road
In improvements and betterments
to the line between Spokane and Port
land. The. big dredge North Bank Is at
present pumping mud and sand to fill
the 5000-foot trestle near Cooks. It Is
estimated that it will require more
than 500.000 yards to complete this
work. The dredge will make the fill
within about eight or 10 feet of the
to exceed $55,000.
The only curve on the North Bank
tracks when dump cars will be used to
complete the work. . -
Improvements are now under way at
the Wind River bridge on the North
Bank, where the line Is adding pne
50-foot deck plate girder on each end
of the present 200-foot truss over the
river. The bridge is one mile east
of Carson. Workmen are also convert
ing the present abutments into piers,
building two new abutments and fill
ing the balance of the trestle at a cost
Road between Portland and Spokane
greater than three degrees is being '
changed. This ,1s the - seven-degree
curve line near Cascades. In reducing
the curvature it will be necessary to
remove 150,000 yards of dirt. The steam
shovel shown in the illustration Is used
to- tear down the embankment and
transfer the dirt to dump cars. The
earth Is being used to fill in trestles.
The cars are now dumping at Carson,
having completed the fill on the trestle
west of Stevenson. When the track is
changed at this point It will give the
entire North Bank Road a maximum
curvature of three degrees.

MAYOR SEES CLEVER RUSE
Opponents of Xcw Power Company
Know ot Telegram, Is Belief.
When Manager Robb of the Western
Vnlon Telegraph Company denied pos
itively yesterday that copies of tele
grams from the Mnyor and the Chamber
cf Commerce, of Stockton. Lai., regaro.
ing the Northwestern Electric Company
had been given to tne newspapers De
fore they were delivered to Mayor
Rushlight, to whom the messages were
addressed, the opinion was expressed
by the Mayor that the messages were
solicited by those in .Portland who are
opposing the new company, and that
thev were merely sent to the Mayor
to give them an official aspect.
The Mayor proposes to Investigate
the proposition further, to see the real
source of the telegrams and the rea
sons for their appearance in the newg
papers before thev appeared at - the
Mayor's office, also the real cause of
the messages having been sent.
"It looks very funny to me." said- the
Mayor yesterday. "I cannot see how
the messages could have got to the
newspapers before they were sent to
me, unless there was either a leak In
the telegraph office or there was
someone here who had solicited them
and wished to use the Mayor's office as
a tool for securing publicity on a
scheme to oppose the granting of a
franchise to the new electric company.
1 don't like such a proposition and If
I can find out the facts I certainly
will make them public.

College Professors Speak at Week
End Social Conferences.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene.
Or.. July 20. Three professors of the
University of Oregon and one from the
Oregon Agricultural College are tak
ing part in the social conference at
Newport this week-end.
H. C. Howe, professor of English
literature at the university, who is liv
ing on his farm near Newport this
Summer, will speak upon the "Socio
logical Note In Modern English Liter
ature." Dr. Schafer. holder of the chair
of modern history at the University,

W. S. Smith spoke on "Historical In

The programme yesterday folHrva:
of Federation, Arrives.
One of the last of the prominent
members of the Federated Women's
Clubs to arrive In Portland ' after the
convention at San Francisco Is Mrs.
Philip N. Moore, of St. Louis, the re
tiring president. Mrs. Moore arrived
here yesterday with her daughter, and
left last night for Seattle. Mrs. Moore
was entertained during the day by
Mrs. Frederick Eggert. president of
the Portland Woman's Club, and visited
the Chautauqua in the afternoon.
Upon Mrs. Moore lay the responsi
bility for ruling the suffrage resolu
tion out of order at the convention,
a ruling which at the time gave rise
to the report that the convention as
a whole was against the movement.
Mrs. Moore said yesterday that she,
like a majority of the delegates, was
strongly In favor of equal suffrage. "
"I was compelled to give the ruling
I did, not because I am against suf
frage for women, but simply through
the laws of our constitution, which
have stipulated that no political or
sectarian causes shall be Introduced
Into the work of the body. In ad
dition, the reso'ution came from the
fioor and not through the committee on
resolutions, anoti.er reason why It was
out of order."
In bad condition, and will have to be
renewed entirely. It was hoped to make
the repairs as soon as the railroad
bridge was completed and opened to the
public, bui . when they can be made
now is very uncertain. It is said by
an expert familiar with the Burnslde
bridge construction, that It cannot car
ry any more traffic during the. rush
hours of morning and evening than It
now carries, and that to put more on
the bridge during these periods would
go beyond the saftey limit.

KLAMATH FALLS, Or., July 20.
Soeclal. The highway between Cali
fornia and Oregon is exciting mucn in
terest In this city. At a luncheon given
at the White Pelican Motei Dy mc
Klamath Chamber of Commerce, whlcn
was attended by nearly all the prin-
Mi business men of the city, this
Question was the main topic.
Tt is the general belter tnat li ine
true situation is understood, the high
wav will pass through this section in
stead of going by the way of Ashland
and Medford. The reasons for this be
lief are that the scenery on this route
is superior because a side trip of only
few miles win De requirea io see
Crater Lake, and that the grades are
easier.
There are two possible routes north
of Klamath Falls, one by way of the
Deschutes region, which is mainly open
countrv. and the other over one of the
low passes across the uascaaes to r,u
gene, thence through the Willamette
Valley to Portland. This route has
easy grades, inexpensive construction
over the greater portion, little work
overhanging -canyons or along cliffs,
passes through some .-of the tinest tim-
cluding Shasta, McLoughlin, Three
Sisters and Jefferson.
It is thought that a careful exami
nation of both routes will be convinc
ing that the Klamath route is the bet
ter scenlcally, the easier on machines,
and less expensive to Construct.

Supreme Court Members Give As
surance of Support When Ap
propriation Is Asked.
SALEM, Or., July 20. (Special.)
With announcement that bids will be
opened for the new Supreme Court and
State Library building on the state
grounds August 6, ft has also been
determined- that It will be possible on
the present appropriation to construct
only the brickwork, exterior and floor
ing and that the interior and finish
ing w-ill have to depend on a further
appropriation at the next session of
the Legislative assembly.
Members of the State Board, after
making a purchase of the entire block
east of the Capitol at a cost of $50,000,
reached the conclusion that the re
maining $100,000 would be Insufficient
for the construction of such a building
as is needed.
State Treasurer Kay held several
conferences with members of the Su
preme Court and members of that body
stated they would back up the Stat
Board and give their moral support
In securing an additional appropria
tion for the construction of the build
ing. The deficit will be about $70,000,
about $50,000 of this being for the
building and the remainder for. com
pletion and furnishlnrs. The founda
tion has been constructed.
The second floor will be entirely de
voted to the State Library. This will
Include floor space 96x126 feet. The
third floor will have offices for the
Supreme Court. The Attorney-General
and assistants will have three rooms
on this floor.

Home of Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey
The above illustration shows the magnitude of The Duffy
Malt Whiskey Co.'s plant, at Waterloo, N. Y. and the execu
tive offices of the concern at Rochester, N. Y. This manufacturing
plant is the largest and most complete of its kind in the land, occupying
over 15 acres. ' It is equipped vith every up-to-date device, known to the art.
There are immense duplicate warehouses a great distance apart, so in case of fire
in one warehouse, the trade can be supplied and the high quality and excellence
maintained.
How If is Hado What if Does
DuSy's Pure Malt Whiskey is manufactured from specially selected and cleaned grain,
the best that can be bought. Only the purest spring water is used at any stage. Every step
in the process of malting and manufacture is watched most carefully by men of broad experi
ence, under the supervision of a chief chemist. Great care is exercised to have every kernel
thoroughly malted, producing a liquid food, tonic and stimulant, requiring no digestion, in
the form of a medicinal whiskey, which has been for over 50 years and is to-day, the world's
greatest medicine. . ,
Taken as directed, it brings into action all the vital forces; it makes digestion perfect
and enables you to get from the food you eat all the nourishment it contains, thus build
ing up the nerve tissues, toning up the heart, giving power to the brain, strength and
elasticity to the muscles and richness to the blcod. It is a promoter of good health
and longevity; makes the old feel young and keeps the young strong and vigorous.
